Remembering heroes who tried to save others in nuclear disasters

Yes we all know Masao Yoshida went against a directive and gave the order to inject seawater to cool fuel rods at Daiichi, but not many know Alexi Ananenko, Valeri Bezpalov, and “Boris Bananov” dove into a highly radioactive pool of water in near zero visibility to open a valve to advert a hydrogen explosion at Chernobyl. Are these nuclear workers accidental heroes or did they just try to redeem themselves.

However don’t bet the farm that Boris, Natasha, or even Fearless Leader will come to the party when Australia has a severe radioactive accident in any nuclear instillation within or outside of Lucas Heights.

Steve Dale“Are these nuclear workers accidental heroes or did they just try to redeem themselves” – it is never the politicians or the nuclear lobbyists risking their lives when things go wrong. It is the poor innocent workers that have to suffer the insults of nuclear radiation, radiation inhalation/ingestion. To further rub salt into the wound, the nuclear lobbyists/enthusiasts then try to claim that radiation exposure/inhalation/ingestion is not a problem. I pity the workers/responders (and their families/parents) of the next inevitable nuclear catastrophe.https://www.facebook.com/groups/344452605899556/
